Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Chapter 157 Taking Care Of All Loose Ends



"Surrender or die!"

Gaud was petrified as he suddenly felt a funny feeling rising up in him. He thought he would be the one saying this, he never expected the vice versa to be the case and his enemies to be the ones saying this to him.

Every millisecond that he wasted thinking, Berserker dug deeper into his neck as blood started flowing and finally made him snap out of his daze.

This time, Rex had no ounce of mercy remaining in him. The energy and intensity of the battle already took all that away from him, now what remained in him was pure violence that he was eager to unleash.

Gaud could feel this violence and was why he mellowed down.

He looked up at his opponent with mixed feelings but in the end, he just sighed. "I really underestimated you lots, I give up".

As a mystic warrior who was used to making meticulous plans, he already knew that all his chances of escape were gone with the strength showed by these 3 Advanced Mystic warriors that he had to go up against.

And with his 2 minions dead, he was all alone which reduced his chances even further. He was intelligent, he knew that he stood no chance against them.

He did as was ordered and raised his hands in surrender.

Despite his pride, Gaud still had hopes of living and was why he surrendered. His life was so much more important than his pride in his opinion. Besides, he still had a contingency plan in place that he banked his hopes on.

Once Gaud surrendered, the outcome of this raid became evident, the Berserk Gang completely defied expectations and came out on top.

The mystic warriors of the Bat Gang were horrified.

The intervals between the time when the leaders of the Berserk Gang boxed in their leader to the orchestrator of this raid finally surrendering was just a few seconds, everything happened so fast.

No matter how small their I.Q was, most of the warriors already recognized that the situation already turned south and they turned with it.

Without hesitation, the mystic warriors abandoned their opponents as without shame they started running for their lives as fast as their legs could carry them far away from the Berserk Gang mansion.

While this happened, Rex and his companions also reacted fast. Their reactions after this victory would determine how much they benefited from it.

Rex left protection of the mansion, the gang, and the 2 Elden siblings to Aragorn after Gaud was tied firmly with a mechanic mystic chain.

As the warriors of the Bat Gang escaped, Rex and Princess Elanor led all available warriors of the Berserk Gang as they went in pursuit.

When he first saw gang leader Beastmare, Rex instantly knew his intentions for agreeing to join this battle. Without a doubt, Beastmare hoped to kill him which would end up with him annexing the Berserk Gang.

If he could assimilate the Berserk Gang, the Bat Gang would quickly skyrocket in importance, notoriety, and strength, becoming one of the biggest in the region.

Unfortunately, their plans could not play out. Now, who said Rex could not do the same to them and try to annex their gang?

"If you can think of screwing with me, I can definitely do the same to you".

Rex was ready to fish in the troubled waters now surrounding the Bat Gang.

With his horde of mystic warriors from his gang, Rex led the charge as they pursued the warriors of the Bat Gang all the way back to their territory where Rex finally boxed them all in for his address.

Like he expected, the warriors did not fight them as they remained docile and waited for him to finally climb the stage.

This was not the first gang to suffer a defeat, and knowing what befell mystic warriors in the Gundam Shelter who did not have gangs to back them up, they were ready to comply to Rex\'s demands.

Rex took the stage and went straight to the point. "Every mystic warrior here from today becomes a member of the Berserk Gang".

"Agree and become inducted into the gang".

"Refuse and die!"

None of the mystic warriors of the already dead Bat Gang dared to make a ruckus. Like a group of obedient children, they all agreed as they started being inducted into the gang one at a time.

There was a procedure to inducting new members into the gang in such a large scale and Rex had no intentions of staying through it all.

This was a lengthy activity that Rex left to Gavin; he didn\'t have time for this since he had other pressing matters that he needed to take care of after the battle.

Having known of Gaud\'s ability to switch through VR Avatars already, Rex did not just fend him off, he also attacked Gaud\'s hideout.

Their plan against Gaud was even meticulous than the meticulous Gaud himself, Rex and his 2 companions gave their all for the planning.

This time, their intelligence was really stretched to the limits as Rex, Aragorn, and Princess Elanor did not just make plans but also made other plans to counter the possible plans and contingency plans that Gaud could make.

Having spent a lot of time questioning Max and Stark Elden, apart from the more basic information that they revealed about Gaud, Max was also able to reveal some vital information about the VR Avatars.

From his personality, for a battle of that scale and after his meticulous preparations, Gaud would likely not send a VR Avatar but would rather go with his real body since he had more confidence to win this way.

Despite coming with his real body though, Gaud also had contingencies in place in the form of the other warriors in his team and his VR Avatars.

His intention was that if anything went wrong along the way, his VR Avatars piloted by his subordinates would be his backup but he failed to account for something else that Rex had, Grey and Storm.

Having hid and instructed his 2 transformed beasts not to make an appearance for so long already, Gaud at some point missed them completely.

This was the edge that Rex had over him in this struggle. While the battle in the Berserk Gang mansion raged, Grey and Storm singlehandedly stormed into Gaud\'s hideout in a showdown against the VR Avatars.

Gaud had 8 VR Avatars. With Rex having destroyed one, 7 were remaining for him to cause trouble with and now Grey and Storm attacked them.

Each VR Avatar was a strong opponent though. Despite the fact that the battle already continued for a few minutes, with 2 VR Avatars destroyed and both Grey and Storm injured, the battle was not ending anytime soon.

Now, Rex and Princess Elanor joined the battle with the army of mystic warriors from the Berserk Gang to annihilate the VR Avatars.

They did not hold back as they joined the fray, activating their strongest skills and abilities to fight off and destroy these masterpiece works of mystic mechanism.

With so many enemies and qualities in the form of Rex and Princess Elanor and with their incredible teamwork having trained together for a long time, the VR Avatars no longer stood a chance.

The VR Avatars soon turned into wreaks after 10 minutes of intense battle.

Rex stood over the rubble of broken machinery as he remained still to catch his breath. After recovering a bit, he finally went inside the hideout where all 18 warriors that were left of Gaud\'s entourage stayed.

Rex grabbed the one who seemed the strongest of them all as the pivotal questioning session finally commenced.

This was important to know if another battle was incoming.

As Rex questioned this powerful Intermediate mystic warrior who was Gaud\'s 2nd in command, Aragorn also commenced his questioning session on the culprit himself, Gaud the chief guard.

Aragorn grabbed Gaud by the neck. "I know that you have a contingency plan that you bank your hopes on, but forget it, we already took care of it".

"Perhaps you may have forgotten so let me refresh your memory. When we just came to the Gundam Shelter, what was our first feat? I know you researched about us so don\'t try to act dumb".

Gaud stared coolly back at him as he soon chuckled bitterly.

Aragorn nodded. "Yeah, Storm killed the former leader of this gang in one move, that\'s our first feat".

"Storm and Grey are Rex\'s pet beasts. Both already went ahead to your hideout and from what I just heard; all your VR Avatars are already wreaks".

Aragorn did not let him speak as he continued. "I have very simple questions for you, I understand your personality already, so don\'t even try to fool me".

"Do you have any other forces that are hidden to us?"

"Who is the real culprit planning for Max and Stark\'s lives?"

"You have 5 seconds to answer…, 4…, 3…, 2…, 1…"

"Wait!" Gaud raised his right hand. "Will I leave with my life?"

Aragorn stared at him calmly. "No, but she\'ll get to live a few months or even a year longer, I think that\'s fair towards you".

Gaud sighed dejectedly and answered, the fact that Aragorn knew the culprit was a female already left him with few options left. "There are no other forces".

Gaud sighed again as tears welled in his eyes, he no longer looked as valiant as before. "The culprit is Jezebel; promise me she\'ll get to live longer like you said".

"She\'ll surely live longer". Aragorn smiled. "Thanks for cooperating".

In Gaud\'s hideout, Rex\'s system lit up a notification.
